#PancakeDay Round-Up – 11 Pancakes for you to relish

Presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail.com. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!).

On the occasion of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!). Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lent fasting period. Pancake Day is also called Mardi Gras in some other places (New Orleans, for example) which is French for Fat Tuesday 🙂 So here’s to fattening up with pancakes (or not, as we have quite some healthy options for you here).

Presenting the 11 Pancakes – sweet, savoury, desi, videsi!

Breakfast pancakes

Since my last post, I've been in Pondicherry, Chennai and then Goa. It was a wonderful last week of 2006 and ushering the new year in Goa was some experience. The hustle bustle and the excitement along with the calmness of the sea is something that must be experienced to be understood. The past week

Recipe for Eggless Triple Blueberry Pancakes

When I was a kid, my favourite fruit was Nagpur oranges. When in season, my grandfather would buy them by the dozens and I could just eat them non-stop. While my 6 year old loves oranges, his current favourite fruit is…wait for it…blueberries! Crazy right? I stock up on the frozen variety, so he

Eggless Buckwheat Crepes : Health on a plate

Last Saturday, I looked at my dinner plate and I felt "Damn, it should be illegal to eat this healthy on a Saturday night." Yes it was so good that it was bad.

However unlike adai, which is a lentil based dosa preparation, cheelas are much thinner and crepe lik

Savoury pancakes with mushrooms and onions

Who doesn't like mildly sweet spongy pancakes all dripping with maple syrup? There weren't many pancake-serving places in Mumbai earlier so my first brunch with a stack o' pancakes was in at the IHOP in Rochester, NY. My favourite being the multigrain pancakes, which had the grainy bits within and a

Traditionally Adai (South Indian Lentil Pancake ) is made with a mixture of lentils in a certain proportion. This is my own version. Sometimes, you have a little bit of all dals remaining in your pantry, then this is the best way to clean up all those bottles. You have soak the dals and then grind

  • That was dinner last evening. Cabbage subzi with onion and potato, carrot-cucumber-basil salad with salt and lemon juice, phulkas and dahi. According to my son, I make the perfect cabbage to go with roti and ammama (my mum) makes the perfect cabbage to go with Rasam rice 😍 . I like to stick to a very simple dinner on Mondays which means either roti subzi or dal rice kinda menu. Much needed if the weekend has been frought with indulgences.
